In these days of turmoil, we bear witness to the truth that change can happen. Now, it is time for our response and our opportunity to build on our legacy in our own neighborhoods, homes, churches, schools, libraries, and work places. Together we can build a better future for ourselves, our children and grandchildren. By doing good, we will do well.

Through looking at the biblical ethic to love our neighbors, our history, and the significance of everyday people, Rev. Cleaver inspires us to make contributions to our communities through participation in civic organizations. This vision of the Common Good can help us make sure all people have a voice so that our society can make sound decisions.
